All of our herd of goats now are elderly. They range in age from 12 to 16 so they are definitely elderly. Elderly goats come with a range of challenges. Sometimes their teeth are not great and they have to eat softer foods . Many times regulating their body temperatures is another issue. We are experiencing some cold weather at the moment so I have to put blankets on some of our elderly goats. I don't recommend blankets for most goats but when they become this old it is necessary. All of our goats are beloved members of our family so I do what I can to make them happy and healthy but it is certainly a challenge when they reach their golden years.
